ABOUT PDO THREADS

PDO Thread Lift | Non-Surgical Skin Lifting & Collagen Stimulation

Lift. Define. Restore — without surgery.

What Are PDO Threads?

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are biocompatible, dissolvable sutures strategically placed under the skin to lift, tighten, and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Over time, the threads dissolve, leaving behind firmer, smoother, more youthful skin.

PDO thread lifts are ideal for patients seeking subtle lifting, contouring, and skin tightening without the downtime of surgery.

FAQs

  • Good candidates for PDO threads are individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who want subtle lifting and improved firmness without surgery. PDO threads are commonly used for early jowling, jawline softening, midface laxity, and neck laxity. Ideal candidates are generally healthy, have realistic expectations, and are seeking natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

  • The number of PDO threads needed varies based on facial anatomy, degree of skin laxity, and treatment goals. Some patients benefit from just a few threads for subtle support, while others may require additional threads for more noticeable lifting. A personalized consultation is the best way to determine the appropriate treatment plan.

  • Is the PDO thread procedure painful?

  • Downtime after PDO threads is generally minimal. Patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days, and most return to normal activities within 1–3 days. Full settling of the threads occurs over several weeks.

  • PDO threads provide an immediate lifting effect, with continued improvement as collagen production increases over time. Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on the type of threads used, individual aging factors, and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments may help prolong results.

  • Some lifting is visible immediately after treatment. Collagen stimulation continues over the following weeks to months, leading to gradual improvement in skin firmness and texture. Final results are usually appreciated around 2–3 months after treatment.

When placed by an experienced, qualified physician, PDO threads are considered a safe and effective option for non-surgical lifting and collagen stimulation.
